Tobias had to learn Lithuanian to get citizenship, along with everything else. Is Tkachenko good at language learning?

Unless they decide that they don't care about Olympics but want to be sent a few more times to Europeans and Worlds. Tobias has been at Olympics so it may not be her priority, and Tkachenko if he remained in Russia would probably have been now couple number 4, so he wouldn't be sent to Europeans/Worlds any more. So even skating for Lithuania without citizenship and without chance to go to Olympics would be more than he would have if he stayed competing for Russia.
